Well its not where you think guys. If you saw all those high-paying 20,000 rmb jobs at Dave's, thebeijinger.com, or Echinacities, - you know, the ones that even come with free furnished apartments, and air fare? Ignore them, they are mostly fake, and the biggest scandal in China ESL history was just uncovered as you can see below. Just knock on wood that Josef is a guy with morals and ethics and you are a regular here at tefl.net. If only we could clone Josef and send 100 of him to China! Anyway, prepared to be a bit upset when you read the below.

My new flatmate has been teaching for 6 years and she just told me about the China School white list and she use this list to get her own jobs without any agents or recruiters. So far she has not gotten ant bad schools or any that paid less than 15,000 a month. So I'm going to start using the same list.

The typical if it sounds too good to be true, then it almost certainly is.
Astro perhaps you can share a link to the white list?
I would say it's better to go for a reputable company... but then Disney English are I guess the exception to the rule.

Disney has been trashed and bashed a lot lately, probably because they had 5 of their teachers arrested and deported because they were caught without Z visas and/or fake diplomas. As for the white list, try this link here... http://www.scam.com/showpost.php?p=1829047&postcount=11
